Urgent Alert For All TFSSP & PCSSP Operators!

The TSA is requiring every operator subject to the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) or Private Charter Standard Security Program (PCSSP) to take two specific steps to ensure on-going access to the TSA Webboard.

Very shortly, the TSA will purge their user access lists.  Anyone NOT verified by an operator as having and continuing to need access will be deleted from the system.  These persons will no longer have access to the Webboard.

First, every TFSSP or PCSSP operator should create a list of each person with a username that allows him/her to access the Webboard and send that information to their assigned Principal Security Inspector (PSI) as soon as possible.  Each person’s full name and associated username must be listed in the email the operator’s PSI.

Second, operators should contact each person within their company that has access and ask them to log into the Webboard and update their personal profile.  To locate the profile page, click “Options” at the top right of the Webboard screen, then select “My Profile” from the list of options presented.  TSA officials have requested that users place their company name in the field marked “Country” as there is not a specific field for company name.  Users should use the actual company name to which the TFSSP or PCSSP was issued, not DBA’s or any other related business name.  This will help ensure that legitimate users are not inadvertently deleted. Be sure to hit the “Save” button when updates are completed.

Although a specific date for the purge has not been given to NATA, TSA officials have stated that these two steps are “mandatory and time sensitive” actions for TFSSP and PCSSP operators.

NATA encourages operators to complete the requested actions as soon as possible. A complete listing of PSIs, with a geographic list of responsibility and email addresses, is available on the Webboard.

Please contact NATA Director of Regulatory Affairs Jacqueline Rosser with any questions.
